[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp I think you are correct. A very small (under 20%) of uva's budget is from the state. Could be 0 if they didn't have in state tuition.

[b]And I am not sure why the gmu pp thinks that going to the top state university is a right for all Langley and McLean students.  Heck that's not even true in MD anymore and UMD is way larger.

I'm the OOS poster. My kid has a 4.65 weighted GPA, high SATs and will have 10 APs. So not totally out of line with the top group at Langley (although I know your grading system is different). IF DC gets in I don't think he will be diluting your gene pool too much. [/quote]

I never said that.  Why so nasty?  I was trying to kindly answer your question about difficulty of getting into UVA, W&M from NoVa versus OSS, and why Virginians would like to see more seats set aside for Virginians.  See, the U.C. system where 90% of the seats go to Caifornians.  Langley and McLean kids go everywhere.  They certainly do not see UVA "as a right" - indeed, DC didn't even bother applying because the competition is so fierce.[/quote]
